oh yeah, it's black friday

First thing this morning my sister, who is visiting from Los Angeles for the holiday, read the reports of squashings, pepper sprayings, and shootings at Wal-Marts and malls across the country as people shopped for black friday. I must say, she had an edge of glee to her voice as she read the various incidents aloud to me. Black friday mayhem is kind of like reading about weird, freak accidents that happen across the globe: you feel completely disconnected from the event as you try to imagine it, because something like this will never happen to you, or anyone you know.

I rarely shop in public, and certainly not in groups or crowds. I'm a huge fan of online shopping and have no fear of ordering jeans, shoes, or even underwear online. Anything that can protect me from milling around with the barbarian hordes at retail environments is what I refer to as salvation.

Wow. Extra super website. I like the slideshow of pots in process at the start. Illustrates to unfamiliar buyers what handmade really means. Being able to easily pick size and color with a click like a clothing website is great too.

Noticed a little hiccup. When you click to open an item, the e-mail sign up box shows through to the item description window and covers text.(Hope that made sense)
